Ricky Vaughn was one of GM Charlie Donovan‘s greatest scouting projects ever.
But I’m just glad we got him some glasses.
I needed some, too, since I apparently can’t tell the difference between Nolan Ryan and Sandy Koufax on my office wall, but anyway …
“Wild Thing” was the star of our team — and he delivered when it mattered against Clew Haywood. Far too many big-league pitchers would sulk their way into the bullpen if demoted for the big game. Not this guy.
Here’s another of those 1989 Donruss fantasy baseball cards courtesy of a big Major League fan, Chris Olds (now with Beckett Media), who created this card for the San Antonio Express-News sports section in 2005.
It’s my kinda card, Charlie. It’s my kinda card.
